Brockham Badgers Black U11s v Milford Pumas U11s (South Surrey League)
First home game of the season was going to be a big challenge. Milford Pumas were top of the league.
It was a bright start by both teams. Milford clearly had real talent among their ranks, with a never-say-die centre half and an ultimate-predator up front.
Brockham's defence struggled early on with their marking and coming to terms with the offside law. But it was Brockham who drew first blood. Oliver and Ezra played a one-two. Ezra headed it neatly down for Oliver to beat a couple of players and return the ball for Ezra to slot home.
Milford soon fought back. Their striker turned at the halfway line and ran directly for goal. Joe Allen did his best to put in the tackle but a delightful chip gave Freddy in goal no chance. One-one.
Henry, Toby and Morgan really gave Brockham some legs and some bite. They began to overwhelm Milford for a period. Then when Henry won a free-kick he lofted it perfectly into the box for Oliver to pop it home and restore Brockham's lead. The quality of dead ball deliveries from Henry and Lucas throughout the game was exceptional. Both boys' free-kicks and corners were fantastic.
Milford soon pulled it back to level pegging with another breakaway from halfway.
Half-Time: Brockham Badgers Black 2 Milford Pumas 2
The second half started all Badgers. Morgan was driving the side on the right and was unlucky when a header hit the bar. There was strong running throughout the game from Morgan who stamped his authority on the game. Lucas went close and made some fine runs down the left as well as some fantastic crosses.
It was a Lucas cross that eventually landed perfectly for Toby to smash in from close range. Toby, as ever, was the ultimate team player: running, tackling, making the right pass; Toby can do it all.
Before Milford tried to get back into the game but then Ezra wriggled past two defenders and beat the keeper with accuracy to give badgers a two goal cushion.
Then Milford really came at them.
Freddy was inspired in goal making saves he had no right to make. Joe and jack were a solid unit in the centre of defence. Morgan threw himself at every shot. Toby and Henry shielded the defence and blocked everything they could reach. Lucas ran down attackers and Adam made some outstanding clearances. It was a real team effort.
At times it seemed impossible that the Milford team hadn't scored, as wave after wave of attacks produced chance after chance. Then with Brockham totally under the cosh they managed a breakaway that saw Toby snathc his second and Brockham's fifth.
It was a flattering score-line, but the right team won.
Final Score: Brockham Badgers Black 5 Milford Pumas 2
Team: Freddy Gil, Morgan Hamilton, Lucas Woolley, Jack Duncan, Joe Allen, Toby Evans, Henry Lucas, Oliver Yeates, Ezra Charles, Adam Bower
Man of the Match: Morgan Hamilton (Defence won the day and Morgan was super committed and released the ball early)

RE: Brockham Badgers U10A 3 - 1 Elm Grove Colts U10A (Epsom & Ewell Premier Division)
Brockham continued their excellent run with another victory at the Big Field, keeping them in 4th position with games in hand. The home team started brightly, pressuring Elm Grove and pinning them back in their own half. Harrison Watts and Conan Torpey both hit the woodwork and it looked like it was going to be a frustrating day for Brockham. Watts worked hard down the right hand side and game the Elm Grove left back tough job. Just before half time a well weighted cross by Watts was met by Ed Russ whose shot was parried by the keeper but Joe Rabbetts followed up, as per the managers instructions, gaving the home team a 1-0 lead.
Elm Grove came out in the second half far more aggressively and started to pass the ball around The Badgers. Within 10 minutes Elm Grove got the equaliser that they were after and if it were not for some fine stops by Huw Morgan The Badgers would have found themselves trailing. Brockham regained their shape and with his weaker foot Russ restored the lead. With a minute left The Badgers won a corner in the same place as the previous week and Russ and Rabbetts decided to execute the same plan. Russ delivered the corner to the back post where Rabbetts ran on to finish with his head and put the game beyond Elm Grove’s reach.
Man of the match – Harrison Watts

Brockham Badgers U15A 4 - 4 Epsom & Ewell Colts
Four shots, four goals. That was the bad news. Yet again, Brockham dominated possession but were unable to convert enough chances to take all three points. This was another good performance though. Having gone two behind, the Badgers battled back to take a well deserved point.
All the signs were good from the start. The black and whites were seeing the lion’s share of the ball and were looking menacing going forward. In the early part of the first half Jordan Martin and Jack Coppin went close with a brace of shots each, with two hitting the woodwork. The Epsom and Ewell number 4 was having a magnificent game in defence and the Colts keeper was making some smart saves. His counterpart on the other hand, James Rabbetts, was more of a spectator.
Then it all went wrong. A decent through ball, a cracking shot, and the boys in blue and white hoops had bagged one from one after thirty minutes. Disappointment turned to dismay when an opportunity to clear was dithered on. Too many touches and indecision let the Epsom striker nick the ball and Brockham were pinching themselves going into half time two goals down.
Some tactical changes at half time saw Oscar Cremmen take up the striker’s position and Justin Tarrant move into midfield. Martin and Coppin were to hit the Colts full backs with their pace whilst the stronger midfield presence was asked to impose itself on the space between the two teams’ defensive lines. Luck or tactical genius? Who cares – within 5 minutes Brockham were level. Coppin provided a peach of a cross for Martin to convert with his head at the far post for the first, whilst Coppin tapped in from short range for the leveller.
Equilibrium had returned and there seemed there would only be one winner as Brockham pushed forward and saw half or dozen or more good chances go begging in the following fifteen minutes. They were punished for their profligacy. Losing a little discipline and shape in midfield the Badgers allowed the Colts to switch play and run at an exposed defence. Another good through ball, an excellent finish, and the blues from Epsom were ahead again with their third shot on goal.
The Brockham boys were not to be defeated though. Immediately seizing the initiative they made their possession advantage count. Another good cross from Coppin was this time met by the head of Cremmen to make it 3-3, then moments later the Badgers took the lead with a surging run and finish from Martin. With only minutes to go it was time to lock up shop. Unfortunately the Epsom & Ewell lads found the key. Another dithering moment between two Brockham defenders in an otherwise safe position allowed the Colts striker through one on one with Rabbetts. Rabbetts was off his line quickly to narrow the angle, and the Colts centre forward still had much to do, but do he did, and sweetly too, instinctively lofting the ball over the advancing Rabbetts for a measured drop into the net.
In terms of shots and possession it should have been Brockham’s day, but in terms of discipline and shape the Colts could argue a draw and nobody would begrudge them. One loss in five games and plenty of possession feels like a foundation from which the Badgers can push on. Cremmen may even be the answer for the absent Flint.

Surrey Youth Cup U16 - Brockham Badgers U16A 11 Claygate Royals 0
Brockham Badgers U16As swept into the third round of the Surrey Cup with a comfortable win over a battling Claygate Royals team.
Brockham are getting stronger with each game, as shown last week when the team could so easily have beaten Premier Elite side Sandgate only to lose narrowly 2-1, and sitting handily placed in 4th spot in the Premier Division, a good season beckons for the team.
Claygate came to the Big Field as underdogs, two divisions below Brockham, and a goal after just 2 minutes from Harry Ramsey set the tone for the game. It was soon 2-0 as Mike Richardson swept the ball home, but Claygate to their credit did not give up, and although Brockham scored three more before half time, it was not all one way, Brockham keeper Dennis RApson pulling off a great save midway through the half that spoke volumes for his concentration.
Claygate fought hard in the second period, Brockham adding one more just after half time, but it was only in the last 15 minutes that Brockham really made their superior status tell, running in 5 goals in quick succession, including a brace from new player Liam Steere, whose pace and determination bodes well for the rest of the season.
Brockham scorers for the record were George Coffey 2, Harry Ramsey 2, Liam Steere 2, Mike Richardson 2, Frankie Routlef 2, Josh Brown 2

RE: Brockham Badgers U10A 2 - 1 Bookham Colts U10B (Epsom & Ewell League Cup, Premier and First Division)
Brockham secured their place in the second round of The Epsom and Ewell League Cup with a hard fought win against a spirited Bookham side. Brockham never looked like they were going to lose this game but Bookham frustrated the home team, not allowing them to convert possession and opportunities into goals. From the start Brockham applied pressure, forcing numerous corners and having numerous shots on goal. The first Brockham goal came from a pass by Sam Church to Joe Rabbetts on the left who went around the keeper and finished confidently. Bookham managed to get themselves back in the game through a well weighted shot from distance that found Huw Morgan off his line. The second half was full of attacking moves by Brockham but at the end of normal time it was still all square, primarily as a result of some great work by the Bookham Keeper. Brockham maintained the pressure in extra time and a corner from Ed Russ picked out Joe Rabbetts at the back post who headed the goal to spare the team and the crowd the pressure of penalties.
Man of the match – Joe Rabbetts

Epsom & Ewell Colts 1 - 1 Brockham Badgers U15A (2-4 pens)
A dominant performance saw Brockham Badgers U15A through to the third round of the Surrey FA County Youth Cup but not without a nail-biting match full of promise and frustration. If Opta had been there it was 85% possession for the Badgers but despite this the Colts put up dogged opposition and in particular their goalkeeper’s man of the match performance kept them in the game throughout.
Epsom & Ewell went ahead early on. A complacent start by the Badgers saw a lack of pressure on the ball allow a cross in from the Colts right. It was met sweetly in the six yard box by their striker but parried by James Rabbetts in goal. The second ball fell to a player in the blue and white hoops and crashed back into the Brockham net.
This shook the Brockham boys into life and for much of the match it was one way traffic. The Badgers defence was occasionally breached but on each occasion Rabbetts was able to collect or match the shot. With the ball camped in the middle and final thirds of the pitch and very much flowing in the Colts direction the black and whites attempts kept coming but nothing seemed to convert.
Some spectacular saves from the Colts keeper were matched by equally unspectacular finishing by Brockham. There were shots at the keeper, shots wide, shots high, the woodwork, two goal line clearances and a decent penalty shout. Finally Jack Coppin rifled a great ball into the Epsom net from an acute angle following one of many Brockham corners and levelled the game shortly before half time.
The second half followed much the same pattern as that of the first. Badgers dominated possession and with the exception of one or two opportunistic scares Rabbetts was very much a spectator. Sam Lloyd, Jordan Martin, Joe Silver, and Simon Vakeva-Baird all went close but nothing would break for Brockham. The siege continued and the Epsom & Ewell defences held strong right through to extra time and beyond to penalties.
The Badgers had already gone out on penalties to Epsom & Ewell in a League Cup 4-4 thriller three weeks before and were determined not to make the same mistake again. This time the tables were reversed. Justin Tarrant, Sam Lloyd, Oscar Cremmen, and Martin all finished confidently, whilst the hoops missed the target twice.
Brockham’s performances are improving and the team is getting back to full strength and fitness. Confidence is key, and there’s a glimmer of that returning too. It looks like the odd smile is coming back as well.

Oxshott Royals U10A 4 - 1 Brockham Badgers U10 Barbarians (Epsom and Ewell Cup)
Oxhsott Royals are flying high in Division Two of the Epsom and Ewell League whilst Brockham Badgers currently hold the top spot in Division Three so this cup clash had the potential for a surprise or two.
Brockham fielded a defensive formation to contain their Oxshott and break quickly on the counter attack. Before Brockham could settle into this new formation, two quick goals from a penalty box scuffle and a long range strike saw Oxhsott take a 2-0 lead in the first five minutes.
Brockham regained their composure and started to find their form playing some trademark passing play with strong counter attacking down both wings. Ben MacKenzie, Lily Turner and Arun Watkins combined to test the Oxhsott keeper through the majority of the first half. With two minutes left on the clock Brockham conceded a foul just outside the penalty area, Brockham's wall of Tom Ambrose and Bailey Osbourne stood strong but a well taken strike saw Oxshott find the net and lead 3-0 at half time.
Brockham started the second half pushing hard to close the gap with Callum Holder forcing a couple of early saves from the Oxshott keeper. An Oxshott counter attack saw brave save from keeper Josh Snow as he dived to smother the ball to deny Oxshott a tap-in. Oxshott countered and against the run of play placed a cross into the box which was guided past the Brockham defence to put Oxshott 4-0 in front.
Brockham continued to press and although the hope of a draw was starting to fade, Brockham continued to press and create a series of clear chances forcing some fine saves from the Oxshott keeper. With five minutes left, a well-timed link up between Watkins and Turner saw a pass to Holder splitting the Oxshott defence enabling him to get a late goal.
The final whistle came with a score at 4 – 1 leaving Brockham to concentrate on consolidating their position at the top of the league.

Kirdford Jumior v Brockham Badgers Black (South Surrey League Division 1)
Kirdford away is a tricky fixture and a potential banana skin for the first game of the season. But Badgers went in with high hopes and tactically astute 4-3-1 formation.
Brockham absolutely dominated the first-half. Lucas and Oliver combined brilliantly on the left. For the first ten minutes nobody else seemed to get a touch. Meanwhile their counterparts on the right Morgan and Toby were equally as effective.
Lucas found Ezra with a marvellous through ball. Ezra smashed the ball cleanly but the keeper's position made it an easy save. Badgers then piled on the pressure with their inspirational central midfielder Henry Lucas doing a fine impression of Patrick Vieira.
Eventually the ball broke from a corner for Ezra who neatly tucked it away from close range.
Kirdford had their breaks though as Brockham got sucked in looking for their second goal and our defence was caught out twice before half-time. We went into the break 2-1 down which seemed very strange considering the amount of possession the team had enjoyed. Joe and the debuting Zain had formed a great partnership an even though Kirdford were strong going forward the scoreline didn't reflect the game.
Half-time Kirdford United 2 Brockham Badgers 1
Kirdford had defended brilliantly in the first half and were just as good in the second half, foiling chance after chance. The equaliser came after Ezra chased down and dispossessed a defender and threaded the ball through to Lucas who disguised his finish with real skill. Lucas had been absolutely fantastic throughout the game both in his tackles, his runs and his passing.
Ezra continued to defend from the front. The left axis of Oliver and Lucas was formidable. But slowly Morgan and Toby came to take a bigger and bigger role in the game. They put so much running in to the second half. They have a formidable partnership. Both boys are solid in the tackle and are consummate team players.
Oliver Quigley came on from the bench and made a good contribution in the middle.
Eventually a pass from Oliver to Ezra and then to Lucas set up another brilliant finish. This time Lucas went for power and cracked the ball into the roof of the net. Great football.
The things got a little scary… The Badgers' football declined and too many times players were looking to beat one man too many in midfield when the through ball was on. This left the team open at the back as weary legs could not track back. It looked like Kirdford would sneak an equaliser. All credit to Kirdford for still being in the game at this point. Joe, Zain and George Lees had to be alert at the end as Brockham put the three points in jeopardy when they should really have controlled the game.
In the end they weren't punished for their exuberance and came out with a deserved win.

Surrey Youth League Under 16 Premier Division - Carshalton Athletic U16 2 Brockham Badgers U16 5
Brockham Badgers U16As produced their best performance of the season to move into third place in the Premier Division with a comfortable win over Carshalton Athletic U16s. After 3 years in the top Premier Elite division, Badgers have been slow starters this season following their relegation to the Premier Division last campaign, but the signs are that Brockham are returning to something approaching their best as back to back wins have suddenly pushed Brockham in amongst the league leaders.
Early goals for joint lads of the match Harry Ramsey and Mike Richardson had put Brockham 2-0 up on 20 minutes, but the home team put in their best spell in the last 15 minutes of the first half to first make it 1-2 with a goal from a set piece, then a debatable penalty just before the interval made it 2-2, something of a flattering score for Carshalton. It could have got worse soon after half time when Carshalton almost made it 3-2,striking the post with a richochet from a Brockham clearance. From that point on though it was all Brockham, keeper Dennis Rapson instilling real confidence in his defence with a commanding display, and a fine run through the centre of the Carshalton midfield and defence saw him slot the ball past the keeper to restore the Brockham lead 10 minutes into the second half..
Harry Ramsey then grabbed his second of the match as his pace was used to good effect to make it 4-2. As Carshalton lost their discipline, it was all Brockham in the final 10 minutes and Brockham could have scored more than the one extra goal they scored in the last few minutes, George Coffey finishing well after another strong run from Ramsey had teed up his fellow striker to make the final score 5-2.
